From the sky it came, the megablast
The story through time long foretold
From fractured firmament rising fast
The Evil to whom our souls were sold
Too late now to seek redemption
Too late now for your salvation
His time has come, you’re on our own
Peeling faces search above
Evil flies disguised as the Dove
Spreading disease over land and sea
Poisoning the flesh of you, the blood of me
From his sick hand we cannot flee
We cannot flee
His time has come
(Behind this verse a tolling bell and the sounds of “bring out ya dead)
The sick and dying pile high
As sinister wheels of tumbrils role
Leather jacket angels roar, the time is nigh
Their skeletal hands claw your soul
You can run, you can run, you can run yeah
You can run, you can run, you can run yeah
You can run, you can run, you can run yeah
But
You can’t hide
Too late now to seek redemption
Too late now for your salvation
Violence and pain your destination
Violence and pain your destination yeah, yeah
Brother killing brother like Able and Cain
There is no redemption ‘neath the black rain
Fathers and daughters battle incestuous lust
Writhing in the blood of the slain
It’s too late now
His time has come
The Reaper walks gathering the dead
Reinventing his gift of pain
Suffer little children now go to bed
Closing your eyes and ears to the calls
Of the insane
Walking through the fire of your dreams
Stumbling over the bodies of the dead
Unable to wake them with your screams
To the darkness of the void, they are wed
They are mine; they are mine now yeah, yeah, yeah
They are mine
Now the world is his, damnation’s ours
(They did it again)
To suffer eternity not just hours
(They did it again)

The bars they are all closed now, the band sang the blues
A bargain bottle of gut rot nothing left to lose
He stole my name
Look up from the gutter lost in confusion
Through the bottom of the bottle see the final solution
High upon a distant hill in the middle of nowhere
Who’ll love me now
He stole my name
They called me the bad one, a real badass
Driven outa town I stepped on the gas
Carrying a loaded gun for him who took my name
Suffered the pointing fingers, the dirty fingers of blame
And beneath a dirty piss yellow sun shouldered the scar of shame
He stole my name
I’ll hunt him down running on solid ground
I’ll hunt him down calling through the realm of sound
I’ll shoot him dead
Just to watch him die
Yeah, I’ll shoot him dead
Just to watch him die
I saw that myself today, and that dirty stain of Cain
I had to walk away, couldn’t stand what I became
Staring back at me in the mirror of my mind
The dirty bloodied face of him I gotta find
He stole my name
Blood and fear rushed over me, put away my loaded gun
Dropped down to my knees and prayed to the father’s son
Lord! Lord, lord, what have I become?
But no answer ever came, for this man without a name
This man forever marked, forever marked with the stain of Cain
He stole my name
Paced the cheap motel room, pulled out my loaded gun
Pulled on my graveyard boots, went out on the run
Searching for the man, the man who took my name
And place upon his head that dirty stain of Cain
He stole my name
I’ll hunt him down running on solid ground
I’ll hunt him down calling through the realm of sound
I’ll shoot him dead, just to watch him die
Yeah, I’ll shoot it dead, just to watch him die
Yeah, I’ll watch him die
I crossed that river dirty wide
Fear and hate tattooed on my side
Scrambled up that hill one thing on my mind
And in my fist the name, the name of him I gotta find
He stole my name
I ran up that muddy hill poisoned blood pounding there
Ran up that heartbreak hill gasping for freedoms air
He stole my name
Revenge blocked out the shadowed night
My own deception killed the haloed light
He stole my name
He stole my name
On top of that cold, cold high burial mound
Summoned the spirits from the realm of sound
Face to face him and me
The dirty mirrored face of my enemy
He stole my name
I got buck naked chanting like a brave
There I buried my old soul, and danced on its grave
I took him down
Yeah, I took him down
Danced upon his grave
I danced upon his grave
Danced upon his grave
The bars are all closed now
The band have sung the blues
I turn my face to the wind
Nothing left to lose
Who’ll love me now?
The wounds and scars cut through my mind
How do I release these chains that bind me
To the dusty roads that lead to who knows where
Baby, baby, baby I’m so alone
Baby, baby, baby I’m so alone
The love you gave I threw away
Sure I’d find a brighter day
But can’t find the light I need to light the way
Never saw the tears fall from your eyes
Or the clouds gathering in your skies
I was lost behind the disguise that I wear
Baby, baby, baby I’m so alone
Baby, baby, baby I’m so alone
This freedom girl ain’t what it seems
No-one here to hear my screams
And I’ dying slowly, slowly in my dreams
I rode the rails to ease the strain
Shelter me from the falling rain
Only you can heal the pain that I feel
Night after night my dreams disappear
Lying alone here in my fear
Reaching out a hand my love to feel you near
I’ve rode these rails girl for too long
The things I said I know were wrong
So I wrote these words for you girl in this song
Baby, baby, baby I know I’m wrong
Baby, baby, baby please hear my song
I just don’t know now who I am
I’m just a fool trying to be a man
Doing what he can now girl to make things right
I lay my head ‘neath a thousand stars
Listen to the tyres of passing cars
The stars like iron bars of a prison cell
This freedom girl ain’t what it seems
No-one here to hear my screams
And I’m dying slowly girl in my dreams
If you let me walk through your door
Lay my head on your concrete floor
I’ll give you all the love you’re looking for
Baby, baby, baby I’m so alone
Baby, baby, baby I’m all alone
The wounds and scars cut through my mind
How do I release these chains that bind me
To the lonely rails that lead to who knows where
The love you gave I threw away
Sure I’d find a brighter day
You’re the light I need to light the way
Baby, baby, baby I’m so alone
Baby, baby, baby can’t make it on my own.

Their knives are out
At your back
Prepare yourself
For their attack
They’ll come from the shadows
When the night is black
Charlatan destruction
Insanity induction
Truth obstruction
Prepare for the attack
Words they use
The language of lies
They poison your mind
They poisoned the skies
They hold the power
Who lives, who dies
Do ya wanna live
Do ya wanna live
Prepare, prepare, prepare
Prepare for their attack
Children look into the sun
Retinas burned and blind
Poisoned by the air they breath
The future’s gone, left behind
Collateral damage
Collateral damage
Collateral damage
Children gone blind
Collateral damage
Collateral damage
Collateral damage
The language of lies
Who lives, who dies
They’re afraid of you
The things you do
Lock you up
Behind a steel door
Electrode adhesion
Mind control cohesion
Absence of thought
Repeat what they’ve taught
Mind control, mind control
Absence of thought
Who lives, who dies
Charlatan destruction
Insanity induction
Truth obstruction
Proof destruction
Insanity induction
Truth obstruction
Charlatan destruction
Destruction
Destruction
Destruction
The language of lies
The power they hold
The language of lies
Who lives, who dies
They have the power
Take back the power.
Rose to the alarm and a full blue moon
Childhood memory of a birthday balloon
Another morning come, come around too soon
But it’s ok, I was only dreaming
Looked at her face, so beautifully sleeping
To the door I went softly creeping
Crawling along, along the ceiling
But it’s ok, my baby lies there dreaming
Baby, baby, baby let me in your dreams
I dress in clothes of dust and dirt
Worn-out jeans and holey shirt
A working man, working through the hurt
I wander out among the rust and steam
The machines pouring poisons into the stream
The rich man smiling like the cat that got the cream
I watch that river flow to who knows where
With shovel in hand, I bend my back
Put my ear to the railroad track
My body stretched out upon the rack
But it’s ok, I still have my dreaming
But in my dream a wall that I can’t climb
She’s rising now as the day commands
A thousand red letters and final demands
Staring out a window head in her hands
But it’s ok, there’s still time for dreaming
Baby, baby, baby let me in your dreams
I dress in clothes of dust and dirt
Worn out jeans and holey shirt
A working man, working through the hurt
I sit and wonder just who we are
Wasted days reaching for that far off star
With no soft oils to ease this skin-deep scar
Baby, baby, baby what’s the point of dreaming
I stumble home feeling tired and beat
Avoid the cracks of this beat-up street
I’m walking home myself, myself to meet
But it’s ok, soon it’ll be time for dreaming
In the night I lay down to sleep
Pray to God our souls to keep
To heal the wounds and scars that we reap
Then it’s ok, this is our time for dreaming
Baby, baby, baby let me in your dreams
We swim in waters so fresh and pure
Soak up the sun on a distant shore
And sooth the scars that we both wore
And it’s ok, this poor man’s only dreaming
I rose to the alarm and a full blue moon
Tethered to the sky like a big balloon
Another morning come, come around too soon
But it’s ok, I was only dreaming
I dress in clothes of dust and dirt
Worn our jeans and holey shirt
A working man, working through the hurt
I work alone in the dark of day
Look to my dreams to light the way
Back to my baby’s arms to dance and sway
Then it’s ok, I know I’m only dreaming
I dress in clothes of dust and dirt
Worn out jeans and holey shirt
A working man, working through the hurt
But it’s ok, this poor man’s only bleeding
Baby, baby, baby I’m only bleeding.
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I’m on the outside looking in
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I’m on the outside looking in
Something going down in the city tonight
Beautiful things beneath neon light
Beautiful people in beautiful places
Lipstick lips and painted faces
Here in the city tonight
Yeah here in the city tonight
OWWWW, OWWWW
Here in the city tonight
The drummer counts off, two, three, four
Rumbling sound hits the dance floor
High heeled shoes, sexy tight pants
Strutting their stuff looking for romance
Down in the city tonight
Yeah down in the city tonight
OWWWW, OWWWW
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I’m on the outside looking in
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I’m on the outside looking in
OWWWW
Your serpentine smile gives you a shot
Never satisfied with what you’ve got
Got the money, got the looks
Eagle talons shaped like hooks
Someday baby you’ll lose those looks
Yeah baby you’ll lose those looks
Then you’re on the outside looking in
Crawling the city’s dirty backside
The fallen city’s fallen bride
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I’m on the outside looking in
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I’m on the outside looking in
Alone in the crowd, the crowd your death shroud
I hear your loneliness clear and loud
Open your eyes, drop the disguise
Hold out a hand together we’ll rise
But I’m on the outside looking in
I’m on the outside
Deep in the dirty city’s dirty backside
I’m on the outside looking in
OWWWW, OWWWW
Outside looking in
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I’m on the outside looking in
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I’m on the outside looking in
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I’m on the outside looking in
Hold out a hand
Hold out a hand
I’m on the outside looking in.
Innocence stolen from all new born
Their souls to Satan by elders sworn
Deep in the earth insanity reigns
Contorting flesh in agony strains
Psycho, psycho, psycho resurrection
In the dead church of Christ
They hedged their bets
He is the redeemer, the redeemer of debts
There’s no way back
There’s no way back
No way back from here
Collision, division, holy circumcision
Faith of the dead, he is risen
Psycho, psycho, psycho resurrection
See the Earth open up before him
Lifetimes wandering the shapeless void
False prophets teaching, now they’ll see
Their lives and lies destroyed
He is risen
March of the damned, zombie race
Rise up this day, his day of days
There’s no way back, rivers of blood
He is risen
The unforgiven
Collision, division, holy circumcision
Faith of the dead, he is risen
Psycho, psycho, psycho resurrection
Psycho, psycho, psycho resurrection
He is risen, the unforgiven
His faceless angel in freedom flies
Screeches piercing bubble gum eyes
Wings of evil snatch the living dead
The dreaming child from his bed
Psycho, psycho, psycho resurrection
Your screaming through time long foretold
For greed your souls to him were sold
He is the redeemer, the truthful one
His sword of justice with force he’ll wield
His lust for blood will never yield
He is risen
Collision, division, holy circumcision
Faith of the dead, he is risen
Psycho, psycho, psycho resurrection
Psycho, psycho, psycho resurrection
He is risen, the unforgiven
Nothing now the scars of slavery
Feel the whip of his depravity
Psycho, psycho, psycho resurrection
His wings of evil over land shall soar
Reaping the souls to him foreswore
Psycho, psycho, psycho resurrection
His sword of justice severs arm from hand
Seven seas of blood engulf the land
Psycho, psycho, psycho resurrection
Out lived your Gods, saw off your Christ
By you on the cross, SAC-RI-FICED
Psycho, psycho, psycho resurrection
Psycho, psycho, psycho resurrection
Psycho, psycho, psycho resurrection
He is risen the unforgiven
He is risen the unforgiven
Kneel before the new crowned king
HE IS RISEN.
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby blue
Born of innocence, stripped from you
Ya daddy left home when you were young
Momma never heard the songs you sung
The loser, the boozer upped and left
A nomad, a wanderer ya momma bereft
Where do ya run, where do ya go from here?
Out on the street, back to the womb
Out on the street, race for the tomb
Pray for redemption don’t hold your breath
This is life
YOUR ASPHYXIATION NIGHTMARE
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby blue
The world’s kicked the crap right outa you
Dealt ya the deuce the lowest card
Stripped your flesh and boiled it hard
Satan is risen, your fears are real
Unable to love, unable to feel
From you they’ll steal your final breath
Trumped up charges, penalty death
Where do ya run, where do ya run to baby
Out to the street, back to the womb
Out to the street, race for the tomb
Pray to your sweet salvation don’t hold your breath
This is life
YOUR ASPHYXIATION NIGHTMARE
A man with a fist full of Dollars says
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby blue
Down on your knees I’ve something for you
Under my belt, down below
Open your mouth feel me grow
Taste the blood, feel the heat
Ya low life mother outa the street
Open your eyes baby, do the dance
There is no love, there’s no romance
Dance for me baby,
There is no love, there’s no romance
Nowhere to run, nowhere to go
Dance for me baby and feel me blow
Into your
ASPHIXIATION NIGHTMARE
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby blue
There’s a man in the shadows waiting for you
He’s in the know, has listening ears
Lay before him your soul, your fears
A stab in the dark he’ll do you no harm
A stab in the dark, a shot in the arm
Heroin, heroin in your vein
Blood rush to your blood-filled brain
Suffocation, gasp for air
Asphyxiation of the electric chair
Dream baby blue
Dream of
YOUR ASPHYXIATION NIGHTMARE
Dream of the womb, amniotic sea
Dream of the tomb a mystery
Dream of the womb
Dream of the womb
Dream of the womb.
From the sky it came, the megablast
The story through time long foretold
From fractured firmament rising fast
The Evil to whom our souls were sold
Too late now to seek redemption

Violence and pain your destination
Violence and pain your destination yeah, yeah
Brother killing brother like Able and Cain
There is no redemption ‘neath the black rain
Fathers and daughters battle incestuous lust
Writhing in the blood of the slain
It’s too late now

The Reaper walks gathering the dead
Reinventing his gift of pain
Suffer little children now go to bed
Closing your eyes and ears to the calls
Of the insane
Walking through the fire of your dreams
Stumbling over the bodies of the dead
Unable to wake them with your screams
To the darkness of the void, they are wed
They are mine; they are mine now yeah, yeah, yeah
They are mine
Now the world is his, damnation’s ours

The bars they are all closed now, the band sang the blues
A bargain bottle of gut rot nothing left to lose
He stole my name
Look up from the gutter lost in confusion
Through the bottom of the bottle see the final solution
High upon a distant hill in the middle of nowhere
Who’ll love me now
He stole my name
They called me the bad one, a real badass
Driven outa town I stepped on the gas
Carrying a loaded gun for him who took my name
Suffered the pointing fingers, the dirty fingers of blame
And beneath a dirty piss yellow sun shouldered the scar of shame
He stole my name
I’ll hunt him down running on solid ground
I’ll hunt him down calling through the realm of sound
I’ll shoot him dead
Just to watch him die
Yeah, I’ll shoot him dead
Just to watch him die
I saw that myself today, and that dirty stain of Cain
I had to walk away, couldn’t stand what I became
Staring back at me in the mirror of my mind
The dirty bloodied face of him I gotta find
He stole my name
Blood and fear rushed over me, put away my loaded gun
Dropped down to my knees and prayed to the father’s son
Lord! Lord, lord, what have I become?
But no answer ever came, for this man without a name
This man forever marked, forever marked with the stain of Cain
He stole my name
Paced the cheap motel room, pulled out my loaded gun
Pulled on my graveyard boots, went out on the run
Searching for the man, the man who took my name
And place upon his head that dirty stain of Cain
He stole my name
I’ll hunt him down running on solid ground
I’ll hunt him down calling through the realm of sound
I’ll shoot him dead, just to watch him die
Yeah, I’ll shoot it dead, just to watch him die
Yeah, I’ll watch him die
I crossed that river dirty wide
Fear and hate tattooed on my side
Scrambled up that hill one thing on my mind
And in my fist the name, the name of him I gotta find
He stole my name
I ran up that muddy hill poisoned blood pounding there
Ran up that heartbreak hill gasping for freedoms air
He stole my name
Revenge blocked out the shadowed night
My own deception killed the haloed light
He stole my name
He stole my name
On top of that cold, cold high burial mound
Summoned the spirits from the realm of sound
Face to face him and me
The dirty mirrored face of my enemy
He stole my name
I got buck naked chanting like a brave
There I buried my old soul, and danced on its grave
I took him down
Yeah, I took him down
Danced upon his grave
I danced upon his grave
Danced upon his grave
The bars are all closed now
The band have sung the blues
I turn my face to the wind
Nothing left to lose
Who’ll love me now?
The wounds and scars cut through my mind
How do I release these chains that bind me
To the dusty roads that lead to who knows where
Baby, baby, baby I’m so alone
Baby, baby, baby I’m so alone
The love you gave I threw away
Sure I’d find a brighter day
But can’t find the light I need to light the way
Never saw the tears fall from your eyes
Or the clouds gathering in your skies
I was lost behind the disguise that I wear
Baby, baby, baby I’m so alone
Baby, baby, baby I’m so alone
This freedom girl ain’t what it seems
No-one here to hear my screams
And I’ dying slowly, slowly in my dreams
I rode the rails to ease the strain
Shelter me from the falling rain
Only you can heal the pain that I feel
Night after night my dreams disappear
Lying alone here in my fear
Reaching out a hand my love to feel you near
I’ve rode these rails girl for too long
The things I said I know were wrong
So I wrote these words for you girl in this song
Baby, baby, baby I know I’m wrong
Baby, baby, baby please hear my song
I just don’t know now who I am
I’m just a fool trying to be a man
Doing what he can now girl to make things right
I lay my head ‘neath a thousand stars
Listen to the tyres of passing cars
The stars like iron bars of a prison cell
This freedom girl ain’t what it seems
No-one here to hear my screams
And I’m dying slowly girl in my dreams
If you let me walk through your door
Lay my head on your concrete floor
I’ll give you all the love you’re looking for
Baby, baby, baby I’m so alone
Baby, baby, baby I’m all alone
The wounds and scars cut through my mind
How do I release these chains that bind me
To the lonely rails that lead to who knows where
The love you gave I threw away
Sure I’d find a brighter day
You’re the light I need to light the way
Baby, baby, baby I’m so alone
Baby, baby, baby can’t make it on my own.

For their attack
They’ll come from the shadows
When the night is black
Charlatan destruction
Insanity induction
Truth obstruction
Prepare for the attack
Words they use
The language of lies
They poison your mind
They poisoned the skies
They hold the power
Who lives, who dies
Do ya wanna live
Do ya wanna live
Prepare, prepare, prepare
Prepare for their attack
Children look into the sun
Retinas burned and blind
Poisoned by the air they breath
The future’s gone, left behind
Collateral damage
Collateral damage
Collateral damage
Children gone blind
Collateral damage
Collateral damage
Collateral damage
The language of lies
Who lives, who dies
They’re afraid of you
The things you do
Lock you up
Behind a steel door
Electrode adhesion
Mind control cohesion
Absence of thought
Repeat what they’ve taught
Mind control, mind control
Absence of thought
Who lives, who dies
Charlatan destruction
Insanity induction
Truth obstruction
Proof destruction
Insanity induction
Truth obstruction
Charlatan destruction
Destruction
Destruction
Destruction
The language of lies
The power they hold
The language of lies
Who lives, who dies
They have the power
Take back the power.
Rose to the alarm and a full blue moon
Childhood memory of a birthday balloon
Another morning come, come around too soon
But it’s ok, I was only dreaming
Looked at her face, so beautifully sleeping
To the door I went softly creeping
Crawling along, along the ceiling
But it’s ok, my baby lies there dreaming
Baby, baby, baby let me in your dreams
I dress in clothes of dust and dirt
Worn-out jeans and holey shirt
A working man, working through the hurt
I wander out among the rust and steam
The machines pouring poisons into the stream
The rich man smiling like the cat that got the cream
I watch that river flow to who knows where
With shovel in hand, I bend my back
Put my ear to the railroad track
My body stretched out upon the rack
But it’s ok, I still have my dreaming
But in my dream a wall that I can’t climb
She’s rising now as the day commands
A thousand red letters and final demands
Staring out a window head in her hands
But it’s ok, there’s still time for dreaming
Baby, baby, baby let me in your dreams
I dress in clothes of dust and dirt
Worn out jeans and holey shirt
A working man, working through the hurt
I sit and wonder just who we are
Wasted days reaching for that far off star
With no soft oils to ease this skin-deep scar
Baby, baby, baby what’s the point of dreaming
I stumble home feeling tired and beat
Avoid the cracks of this beat-up street
I’m walking home myself, myself to meet
But it’s ok, soon it’ll be time for dreaming
In the night I lay down to sleep
Pray to God our souls to keep
To heal the wounds and scars that we reap
Then it’s ok, this is our time for dreaming
Baby, baby, baby let me in your dreams
We swim in waters so fresh and pure
Soak up the sun on a distant shore
And sooth the scars that we both wore
And it’s ok, this poor man’s only dreaming
I rose to the alarm and a full blue moon
Tethered to the sky like a big balloon
Another morning come, come around too soon
But it’s ok, I was only dreaming
I dress in clothes of dust and dirt
Worn our jeans and holey shirt
A working man, working through the hurt
I work alone in the dark of day
Look to my dreams to light the way
Back to my baby’s arms to dance and sway
Then it’s ok, I know I’m only dreaming
I dress in clothes of dust and dirt
Worn out jeans and holey shirt
A working man, working through the hurt
But it’s ok, this poor man’s only bleeding
Baby, baby, baby I’m only bleeding.
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I’m on the outside looking in
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I’m on the outside looking in
Something going down in the city tonight
Beautiful things beneath neon light
Beautiful people in beautiful places
Lipstick lips and painted faces
Here in the city tonight
Yeah here in the city tonight
OWWWW, OWWWW
Here in the city tonight
The drummer counts off, two, three, four
Rumbling sound hits the dance floor
High heeled shoes, sexy tight pants
Strutting their stuff looking for romance
Down in the city tonight
Yeah down in the city tonight
OWWWW, OWWWW
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I’m on the outside looking in
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I’m on the outside looking in
OWWWW
Your serpentine smile gives you a shot
Never satisfied with what you’ve got
Got the money, got the looks
Eagle talons shaped like hooks
Someday baby you’ll lose those looks
Yeah baby you’ll lose those looks
Then you’re on the outside looking in
Crawling the city’s dirty backside
The fallen city’s fallen bride
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I’m on the outside looking in
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I’m on the outside looking in
Alone in the crowd, the crowd your death shroud
I hear your loneliness clear and loud
Open your eyes, drop the disguise
Hold out a hand together we’ll rise
But I’m on the outside looking in
I’m on the outside
Deep in the dirty city’s dirty backside
I’m on the outside looking in
OWWWW, OWWWW
Outside looking in
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I’m on the outside looking in
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I’m on the outside looking in
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I’m on the outside looking in
Hold out a hand
Hold out a hand
I’m on the outside looking in.
